At the 1841 census William is living with second wife Susan, and their children William 2 and John 3 months
He took over his father's business, which he moved to what is now Wistaria, Western Road in about 1842, where he is living at the 1851 census.
He is still living at 114 St Lawrence Green, Western Road, Crediton at 1871 census, but the builders premises at the back have by now been pulled down to make way for the Grammar School, and the yard has moved to its present site in Union Road. William Berry is at Union Road in Morris 1870 Directory, but it is not clear if this is father or son William Boddy Berry.
He is listed in Billings 1857 Directory as Builder, Western Road.
He is a gentleman, living in Western Road in Kellys 1866, and 1873 Directory. In 1878 the Harrods Directory refers to Mrs Berry in Western Road
The business won a countract to build and maintain 20 of the county's bridges, and to build stations at Crediton and Newton St Cyres. In fact the Berrys won a lot of lucrative railway work.
